Online tutoring is made possible by using videos to replace or supplement face to face services. The purpose of this research was to examine student reactions to the use of lecture capture technology in a university tutoring setting and to assess student knowledge of some features of Tegrity lecture capture software. A survey was administered to traditional age undergraduates (N = 272; mostly white females) and the results indicate viewing of videos was primarily off campus. Applying a technology acceptance model, the respondents reported the software was generally easy to use though they expressed a lack of familiarity of some features. Human resource development and adult educators, who provide or use tutoring services may incorporate the findings in development of videos. Recommendations for video users and developers and software vendors are included as well as suggestions for future research.
